Doomsday foresight

"Uncle Six, you asked us to take in these three children. Actually, it's not impossible. It's just that Uncle Six and the elders, you can't just use it just because our family's conditions are better. Now every household's conditions are not good. People in the village Seeing that our family has livestock and chickens, it seems that we have a good life, but do you think our family is much better than yours." Jiang Chen sat on the south kang, holding a cup in his hand, looking at the big kang on the opposite side. The sixth uncle waited for several elders.

"Our family doesn't have much food. It's just that last year my grandfather wanted to sell more money, so he didn't buy corn. Didn't my second uncle sell it too? You all saw it when I came back. What did I get back? No, what we went to fetch later was brought to us by Viktor, which was also something saved by a friend of his in the capital. In fact, the food he took was enough for him alone." Jiang Chen paused, " My grandpa and grandma are kind-hearted people, otherwise they would not have taken me in at the beginning. I have always remembered that it is okay to take in three children, but uncle, you have to make it clear that we can’t take over our family in the future. Our family’s labor is only For these few, my grandfather is in his seventies, and he can’t do too much heavy work, and Dabao’s family can’t be counted on. It’s just the four of us, my second uncle Jinyang and Jinxi, and it’s hard to raise a big family.”

The sixth uncle was also embarrassed, but he was also relieved when he heard Jiang Chen let go, "I know this is embarrassing for you, but you people in the village also know that we can't think of anyone other than your family to adopt these three children. Zhao Quan's daughter-in-law offended almost all of Dongtou, and the others were not hypocritical. Originally, this should be my village head's business, but you also know how many years your sixth wife has been lying on the kang in our family. The two daughter-in-laws in the family are taking care of her, and they have to work hard, and your two uncles live together, so there is really no room for them at home."

Jiang Chen nodded, "Sixth uncle, I know the situation of your family. If you want to talk about our family from my grandfather to my second uncle and second aunt, my sister-in-law knows how many children haven't eaten breakfast, and specially cooks for them. That's all. You can also see that they are all kind-hearted, they are easy to talk, if your elders came to make peace before, they must have agreed without saying a word, but it is different now, I can say my ugly words first, I I have been a soldier outside for two years and went out for a few years, and I have seen a lot of things in the world. Now that the world has changed, the village will not be able to arrest honest people. Uncle Six, tell me that the village has been in trouble since last year. We I didn’t go to help out that time. This year, all the eggs laid by our hens have been hatched. We don’t need any food. We are generous enough, but the villagers still talk like this. "

"Uncle Six, you came to the door today, didn't you also want our family to take over this stall? Why, did someone whisper in your ears that our family is doing well? I won't call names, as long as everyone knows clearly , but no one should be fooled in the future, since it is a village matter, let the whole village solve it together, and don't take us for granted." Jiang Chen said with a cold face and his voice was quiet, but his eyes were sharp. Some people have a guilty conscience.

The Sixth Uncle's face was also flustered with embarrassment, they did something wrong, they came here today to push the third sibling to them, and there were actually people talking about it in front of them, but they didn't know how Jiang Chen knew about it . "Don't worry, we'll watch what you do. Today, you have solved the difficulties for our village by keeping the three siblings. This is the last time. If anyone in the village says anything about you in the future, I will be the first No one agrees."

"Yes, with your words from Uncle Six, our hearts are at ease." Jiang Chen smiled, "It just so happened that Jinxi went to dig some shepherd's purse, and I will make dumplings at home later, Uncle Six, you and I have a drink There's still half a bottle of foreign wine that Vic got."

"No, we're going back, we've been here for a long time." The sixth uncle hurried down to the ground after hearing this.

"Lao Liu stays for dinner, don't leave." The old man hastened to keep the guests.

"No, no, let's go back." The fifth uncle also went to the ground, and stayed long enough.The old man was still about to stay, so he watched the old man go down to the ground, pulled his shoes and went out without even saying a word, his face darkened.Looking at his back, Jiang Chen twitched the corner of his mouth and pulled a sarcastic smile.

Uncle Six pointed at him, "You."

"Uncle, don't blame me." Jiang Chen didn't care.

"Okay, next time you can't speak so hard." Although Jiang Chen's words were quite impressive, but the sixth uncle was just a little embarrassed, but not unhappy, he knew who Jiang Chen was talking about.

"There is also Uncle Six. The three sisters are in our house. Their house can't be taken for nothing."

"Their house didn't belong to them in the first place. Didn't they live in it when their house collapsed?"

"When they lived in the village, they gave the village two sacks of corn noodles. It wasn't for nothing. The village also said that the house was given to them for orphans and widows. Now the family is still alive. Their own homestead was not built a few days ago. Have you occupied it? If you occupy this house this time, you will drive the three of them away. Besides, Uncle Six, you are in a hurry to settle the three sisters, so it’s not just for the purpose of occupying the house."

"Then what do you want to do?" Ye Laoliu was in a dilemma. Speaking of which, this matter really has something to do with the house.

"Give the house behind our house to the three sisters. Now we surround it and plant it. When they grow up, I will build a house for them."

"Okay. But the land is not big."

"Didn't you pay for the courtyard wall of the brigade headquarters? It's enough to connect with our family's forest." Jiang Chen thought of it when he brought up this matter.

The sixth uncle looked at Jiang Chen, and smiled helplessly, "It's all up to you to figure it out. Anyway, the walls are all around, so you can figure it out yourself." Because the land is close to Shui Paozi, there is also a brigade building The foundation, digging, etc., was uneven and no one moved it. Later, when the wall was built, because the brigade headquarters and the woods outside Jinxi’s house were expanded, a little land was occupied. Now look, the place is narrow and long. If the fence is leveled, it can indeed be farmed.

Jiang Chen sent people out with a smile. He really wanted it on purpose. There was indeed a homestead behind their house, and he was afraid that someone would occupy it behind. Not good here.

Before talking to Jinxi about adopting a few children, Jiang Chen went out, first went to find out how the villagers found their home, and watched Uncle Six and the others talk to each other, leaning towards their home little by little Jiang Chen knew that Sixth Uncle and the others had discussed it.

So he went out to inquire about it. Since Jiang Chen helped the villagers to train, he was very popular among young people. At this time, young people adored the strong, so there are really a few Jiang Chen as idols.

He asked what news, but many people informed him.

Speaking of which, this matter has something to do with the old man over there. This old man is Ye Cheng's own grandfather. He lives in Dongtou. The east and west ends of the village may be related to the region. There are not many contacts. Although this old man is Ye Cheng's grandfather, other than his youngest son Ye Ji, the other four children are not close, there is some relationship between them, Ye Ji's mother is his second wife, there are some things between them, Jiang Chen and the others are not very clear, they only know that Ye Shuo and his brothers are related to each other. The old man is not close, although Ye Ji is the fifth child, but in fact he is older than Ye Shuo, which can tell something, but it is so recorded in the genealogy, people don't say anything.

Because Jinxi's father had a good relationship with Ye Shuo, and Grandma Ye had a good relationship with the original big grandmother, the relationship between the two families was not good after the original big grandmother passed away. Later, Ye Shuo and the others got married and reunited with Jinxi's family. After establishing contact, I basically stopped communicating with the uncle's family, and there were still some conflicts, although the conflicts were just mutual dislikes.

Before collecting food for those who were short of food, the three boys in their family complained, and even said that Jinyang's family still kept donkeys and sheep, so why not let their family contribute more.However, few people in the village agreed, and they didn't care about it. Later, because they caught chickens, they only caught two hens, and complained again. Jiang Chen heard the news before that Ye Ji was in the ear of the sixth uncle. By the way, the second master's family is in good condition to send the child to their home.In this case.

Once or twice, they don't care about it, and they always jump out like this. Although it is not painful, it is also responsive.So Jiang Chen took advantage of this incident, ordered a little, and with this explanation, what he was talking about next time, he couldn't let it go.

Of course, the reason why Ye Qi jumped out so eagerly this time was because of the house of the whole family of Zhao. The whole family of Zhao happened to be next to the house of the uncle. My son's house was smashed last time, and half of it was destroyed. I couldn't live in it. I moved back to the uncle's house. There are more than ten people in the family, and it's a little crowded to live together. The village originally wanted them to go to Xitou to choose a homestead to build a new house, but The second child in their family didn't want to go, thinking that it would be unsafe for him and his wife to bring their children at home.The matter of building the house was delayed, and it happened that Zhao Quan's house was right next to them. There was an accident last night, and their family thought of this. They were not afraid that someone would die in that house, so they discussed this matter before they slept in the middle of the night, and finally I just thought that the three children must be sent out as soon as possible, so that it would be easy to handle.So early in the morning, they searched from door to door, saying that their enthusiasm was for the child's benefit, and they would lead them to Jinxi's house while talking.

Jinxi's uncles were not foolish enough to understand this, they didn't want Jinxi's family to be burdened with this matter, but after all, they were also afraid that the incident would happen to them, so they didn't help.

After Jiang Chen knew what was going on, he first asked his second uncle, second aunt, and Jin Yang and his wife to see if they were willing.

Anyway, the second uncle and the second aunt have a good personality, and they agreed without asking any questions. Yingzi and sister-in-law don't care about things, and her parents-in-law and husband have no objections, so she has no objection either. Anyway, she knows that they are the ones who want to eat at home. My son, actually Jinxi doesn't know whether Yingzi and sister-in-law are smart or stupid, they don't care about everything, and they can find the key points at once. It doesn't matter to me how you mess around or do things, anyway, you can't leave us mother and daughter alone.Don't worry about anything, the kind of peace of mind.

The second uncle and the others had no problem, so Jiang Chen called the old man out to express his thoughts. Jiang Chen was unwilling to tell Jin Xi about the dark side of some things, but he had no reservations about the old man. He always felt that The wisest person in their family is the old man. You can tell just by looking at the characters of the family members. Jinxi's father is the eldest son of the family. The old man educated him well back then. In Jiang Chen's memory, he was the kind of very resistant A man can definitely afford to be the head of the family.

Uncle Ye can't do it anymore, the old man also targeted his education, and as a result, Uncle Ye has become the kind of person who is bold and has some ideas but doesn't want to be sharp. If Jinxi's father doesn't die, the two brothers will live together The village supports each other, no matter what.Don't look at their family has been in disasters but has never been really broken, as long as they are given a chance to breathe, they can stand up again.

He was anxious to hear from his grandma that he had taken care of the two daughters-in-law and one grand-daughter-in-law in the family. As a result, the family and He Lele never turned their faces.

He felt that the old man saw things clearly, and there was no need to hide anything other than the unreasonable feelings for Jinxi, and the old man would help him make a decision.

That's why there was a part of the conversation with Uncle Six and the others before, and Mr. Ye also used his mouth to remind others.

"Let's go, I'll accompany you home to pack your things." Jiang Chen said to Da Ya, who looked at her with wide eyes without any fluctuation.

Jiang Chen smiled and turned to the old man, "Master, the three of them haven't got names yet, why don't you give them names."

Mr. Ye smiled with a cigarette pipe in his mouth, "What name will I name? Both your uncle and your second uncle's names were given by your sixth uncle. Why don't you start from Jinxi, you have studied so much Give them a name."

Jin Xi blushed when she heard that, "How can I get up?"

"It's okay, if I tell you to get up, you can get up." Jiang Chen smiled.

Jin Xi looked at the three children. The older girl was very defensive, and she took care of her younger siblings since she was a child. She had a strong personality. Although her eyes didn't fluctuate, Jin Xi felt that she might be observing their home. If it was not suitable, she would definitely take her younger siblings away. .

"Da Ya has always taken care of her younger siblings. She is no worse than a boy. She is called Sheng Nan. These two words are not good. It is called Sheng Nan, which means Xing Sheng Sheng. There are also other characters like Wang Sheng, Blooming, and Chang Sheng. Nan uses the nan of nanmu, which is tall and hard. , is a very precious tree, the combination of these two words is full of vitality, and it will be your new life from today onwards, I hope you will be as tall and tough as Phoebe, and full of vitality."

Da Ya finally showed a hint of expression on her face when she heard it, she seemed to be chanting her own name, and finally looked at Jin Xi's eyes brightened, as if she really exuded vitality. When her father was around, she always praised her, saying that she was better than Boys have to be sensible and know how to take care of their younger siblings. Later, I said that if your younger brother can have you, I will feel at ease.My father has expectations for himself, Sheng Nan, Sheng Nan, she is stronger than boys, she will become stronger and protect her younger siblings.

Jinxi looked at Erya again, this child was a bit timid, perhaps he was protected by his sister, his eyes looked very clean, "Erya looks good, her eyes make people feel warm, let's call her Nuanqing, warm , Sunshine, I hope she can let go and warm herself and others, as if the sun is shining brightly and beautifully on a sunny day."

The last boy was bigger than Huzi in their family, but he was a little thinner, holding his second sister's hand tightly, his eyes were like a calf, pure and bright, now Jinxi suddenly fell in love with Sheng Nan, Regardless of whether she killed someone or planned it premeditatedly, at her age she took care of her siblings so well. Although they were fearful and cowardly in their eyes, they were both sunny and innocent, which showed that they hadn't had much contact with each other. Something too dark.But their cowardice is just because they are far away from the crowd and are not used to it, and it will always change over time.

"You are a boy. When you grow up, you want to protect your sister. Your name is Zhiqiang. I hope you can become stronger."

"Zhao Shengnan, Zhao Nuanqing, Zhao Zhiqiang, well, these three names." The old man nodded after repeating, "From now on, everyone will be called by new names."

Jiang Chen smiled, lowered his head and said to Zhao Shengnan, "Come on, Sheng Nan, let's go back and clean up." After speaking, he stretched out his hand.

Zhao Shengnan hesitated for a moment before reaching out, holding Jiang Chen's hand, and then looked up at Jinxi.Jin Xi nodded to her with a smile.Zhao Shengnan showed a small smile.

Jiang Chen accompanied Zhao Shengnan to get things, some blood stains in Zhao's house had been wiped away, but there was an indescribable gloomyness in the house, maybe it had nothing to do with the kang being burned.

"Clean up, you don't need to take some unnecessary things, they are all at home."

Sheng Nan nodded, and went to the houses of their siblings first, and found out their clothes, all of which were not very good, some were too small, or were patched, such clothes were really rare in the village.But the clothes are very clean, Jiang Chen doesn't think that Zhao Quan's wife can wash the children's clothes, so these clothes are probably washed by Sheng Nan.

They didn't have many clothes, so they just wrapped them in a sheet, and nothing else was left. Zhao's family's house had been crushed, and many of the things inside hadn't been sorted out.However, Sheng Nan's most precious thing is a photo album. After Jiang Chen looked at it, apart from the single photos of their siblings, there was only one family portrait, which was a photo of Zhao Quan and his children, and there was no Zhao Quan's wife in it.

After packing up the clothes, she still wanted to take the quilt, Jiang Chen looked at it, it was too torn, so she didn't let her take it.

Sheng Nan hesitated for a moment or gave up, then watched her go to the cellar and get out three bags of grain.A bag of corn noodles, a bag of yellow rice noodles, and half a bag of rice.

Jiang Chen really didn't expect Zhao Quan's daughter-in-law to have this little food.

"No more?" Seeing that Sheng Nan hadn't moved, Jiang Chen asked.

Zhao Shengnan was a little embarrassed, "That's all." In fact, his mother still has some clothes, and they can wear them after taking them back, but she really doesn't want them anymore.

Jiang Chen nodded, picked up a few bags and left with Zhao Shengnan, Zhao Shengnan carried the clothes bags by himself.

Many people looked at it when they went back. In fact, the villagers knew that Zhao Quan's family had nothing, and they didn't know how Zhao Quan's wife got it.

When the two arrived home, grandma took the second aunt and Yingzi's sister-in-law to clean up the house.

"I thought you two lived together in the same room before, so I arranged for you here. If you are afraid, you can live with us." The old lady took Sheng Nan's hand and entered the original next room, now here But there is a big change. There is only one room with wooden doors and windows painted with the same paint as the main room. The room is painted with latex paint. The walls are very white and the kang is also newly built. Put clothes under the bedding.There are also new kang mats on the kang.

Along the east wall on the ground, there are coordinating cabinets of different heights and combinations. At first glance, they are the same as the kang cabinets on the kang, and they are all new and useless.If this house is not shorter than the main house, it can be used as a new house.

"The quilts are all ready-made, you can see what is missing, and tell me and your second aunt." Grandma said with a smile.

"Grandma." Sheng Nan's face was a little red, and it was a bit awkward to say that.

"Okay, we will be a family from now on, you can call after your brother Jinxi."

"Well, grandma's house is so nice, let's live somewhere else." Sheng Nan really couldn't help it, this house couldn't be prepared in a day or two.

"It's okay, I originally wanted someone to live at home, but you came here as soon as the house was finished. Hehe, it's okay, you can stay at ease. That's right. You come." Grandma said, holding Sheng Nan's hand to the door.

"Don't be afraid if you live here. You can see that the doors of this house are solid. They are not easy to open with an axe. Have you looked at the outside and the latch? Except for the middle door and a large latch, there are Three open it during the day and put it up at night. It is firm. You push it yourself, and the kennel is just outside. Although our big yellow dog is a bit weak, it is not as strong as big red, but it is alert and can bark at a little movement. With it I'm not afraid to look at you."

The old lady told Sheng Nan about the safety of the house, because she was afraid that the child would be timid when she first arrived. "If you close the door when you sleep at night, no one can get in. The toilet is inconvenient to go back and forth behind your house. If it's okay, I'll get you a urinal. Just empty it in the morning."

Sheng Nan burst into tears when he heard it, "Grandma———" No matter how strong you are, you are still a child. After hearing the heartwarming words that have not been seen for a long time, Sheng Nan threw herself into the arms of the old lady and began to cry.

The old lady was also distressed by her crying, and patted Sheng Nan on the back, comforting, "Okay, it's all over, oh, don't cry."
